A Connecticut man was sentenced to three years in prison for trafficking methamphetamine pills that were shipped to the state, according to federal authorities.
U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill, at federal court in Bridgeport, also sentenced Gregory Grant, 34, of New Haven, to three years of supervised release, according to federal authorities.
Citing court documents and statements made in court, authorities said that, about between January 2022 and March 2024, Grant’s co-conspirator, Tyrone Brown, “mailed parcels containing methamphetamine pills from Georgia to addresses in New Haven associated with Grant and others.”
The investigators identified about 79 “suspicious parcels shipped from Brown to Grant during that time,” authorities said.
Also, in January 2023, investigators did a court-authorized search of an intercepted parcel and found 16 sandwich-style bags containing more than four kilograms of methamphetamine pills, and a gun, authorities said. The investigation also revealed Grant made multiple payments to Brown during the conspiracy, authorities said.
Grant has been held since his arrest on March 27, 2024 and pleaded guilty in March, authorities said. Brown also pleaded guilty and, on December 2, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, authorities said.
The investigation was done by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Narcotics and Bulk Cash Trafficking Task Force, which includes members from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Postal Service – Office of the Inspector General, and the Hartford, Plainville, and Meriden Police Departments, authorities said.
